Improving Plone's third party products story

We've had a lot of discussions recently about quality management of plone.org/products - how do people who don't spend their days on plone-user and #plone work out what products are worth betting on, where they are going and whether they'll stay viable in the future?

A lot of really great ideas came out of the session we held at the Plone Conference. We've taken the ones that seemed most workable and turned them into a todo-list for the PloneSoftwareCenter.

Can't believe all the shameless advertising that goes on in a blog listed on the blogger.com "blogs of note". Oh well, since that is the norm, I'll put this comment up and see if I get any hits from it.

This is a call to everyone to please step outside the right vs. left paradigm. While there are important issues worth debating within this paradigm, all of them will be moot if we do not focus on a much greater issue outside this paradigm. Thomas Jefferson warned of wealth concentrating to such an extent that it threatened the state. Nowadays the media has taught us all very well to ridicule anyone who talks of central banks usurping the power of government. Well now I suppose the media will have to laugh at themselves, as many outlets from Newsweek to the Financial Times of London are openly discussing the creation of a "bank of the world" that will control economic policies of every nation. I invite you to watch this video, which details how this is currently taking place. While it focuses on our current officials' cooperation with these plans, it steps out of the typical political paradigm by highlighting the cooperation of both parties. Please do not look to politicians to protect us. Only we can protect us. And our first step must be to reach out to police and military. Without their cooperation, the global elite won't have the muscle to exercise their will of oppression. Please share this oath-keepers blog with them.

Many people are frustrated by having multiple products doing the same job, or products that are not yet mature or stable or supported in the plone.org Products section. Managing quality as part of product metadata is becoming more important, but this requires work from volunteers.
